FLOW: A friends-to-lovers, fake dating hockey romance. (The New Bradfords)

Tia Louise

Lane "Gavin" Knight is the hottest new defenseman for the LA Champions hockey team. He's my cousin Maverick's best friend, and by trick of fate, my new roommate. But just because he caught me when I fell off the "Welcome Back" parade float in my International Princess crown doesn't mean he's a hero. I know him better than that. Hayden "Haddy" Bradford is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. She's a princess, a brilliant scientist... And she hates me. Until a purple-drink-fueled Halloween hook-up changes both of our lives. It's something I've wanted a long time, but I never dreamed I'd have it with her. Still, I'm the master of high-risk, high-reward plays, and I'll do what it takes to show her I'm not the man she thinks I am. I'm there for her every step of the way, supporting, holding her hand, doing my best to show her my true self. I told her I'd catch her when she falls, but no one is catching me-and I'm falling fast. I'm headed straight into the offensive zone. Everything I want is at stake, but I'm committed to this puck battle, and I intend to win.

CAGE: A single-dad, roommates-to-lovers, hockey romance. (The New Bradfords)

Tia Louise

Sometimes fate sends a sign, and sometimes it sends a bloodhound with a hot hockey player holding its leash, dragging it off you. Owen Stone is not your usual hockey player. He's a six-foot-two single dad with dark hair, ocean eyes, and muscles for days. He's also a last-minute trade trying to find a home for his seven-year-old daughter, his psychic sister, and his adoring bloodhound. Naturally, my hockey-star cousin tells him to move in with us, and I'm a sucker for a good dog. Gina Bradford hits me right in my weakness. She's tall for a girl, with strawberry-blonde hair, bright green eyes, and a sweet smile. She's also a champion dog groomer, judge, and owner of a pure-bred show poodle, who is also a notorious towel thief. When my new teammate invites me to be their roommate until I find a home for my crew, I should've said no. I've survived the worst, and I've achieved my dream of playing in the NHL. My focus is on winning games and taking care of my daughter, not romance. Until our dogs start acting like fated mates whose sole purpose is to push us together. And a charity calendar forces us to work together. And a highway accident strands us overnight in a hotel with only one room... and only one bed. We said it was just once. We've both been hurt. But once is never enough. My daughter loves her, and even my psychic sister predicted the girl of my dreams would be holding a dog. It takes a little faith and a lot of courage, but what we've found is more than a cage. It's a love that shows up, even when you're not looking for it. (Cage is a hockey romance with a broody single dad, an FMC obsessed with dogs/not love, roommates-to-lovers, close proximity, "just once," chosen family, and loads of spicy fun. No cheating, no cliffhanger, and no third-act breakup.)
